when i say 'legit made me cry' it's more like 'legit caught me off guard and brought tears to my eyes'
but still
This worked well enough for a stand alone manga, but I would have liked a bit more context/explanation at points. But this really is two lost souls finding each other in an old laundromat in the middle of the night and being drawn to each other without having any context or explanation of who the other is, so maybe it is churlish to want that for myself. It does have some things that makes BL manga BL manga, but I also think if the volume were longer or it was a duology the author could have explored some things that would have explained their dynamic more or leant into under-negotiation. However, I did enjoy this and am not mad I bought a copy.
